This ice cream is delicious! They have a lot of flavors and some of them are very unique or special for each season. For example, right now it is fall, & they had pumpkin ice cream and some kind of apple caramel sundae that looked really good. I always get the mint chocolate chip ice cream & it is wonderful....

Many ice cream/treat options such as ice cream sandwiches, sundaes, hurricanes, shakes, etc. They offer seasonal desserts too. Have a lot of ice cream flavor choices. Service took a bit longer than thought would take.

We just moved to the area and were delighted to find that we live less than 5 minutes from an ice cream shop! Handel's makes their own flavors and there are so many to choose from - almost too many. I have to remind myself to try a different once each time. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie flavor is intense....

After living in York for several years now we were looking for something different to do with our granddaughter during her recent visit. We decided to visit Handel's and try their ice cream. She loved it and so did we. We will definitely visit again. We ordered milkshakes and sundaes to eat on the spot and butter pecans to go...

Every time we stop here we always leave happy. Tonight my wife had Mocha Cookie blast and loved it. I had a Boston Cooler I will definitely get it again.
Handel's is hands down the best ice cream place in York.

We stopped off from driving to get a quick cone. My dad got a chocolate cone which was fine. My mint chocolate chip was disappointing as it had flecks not chips and there were only about 10 sprinkles on the whole cone. The coconut cream pie icecream was amazing. Definitely taste the icecream before getting a full cone.

We finally decided to stop by and try their ice cream after living in York for several years. It was tasty but not memorable. What was memorable was the attitude teenager service. Oh, and when they wouldn't sell a brownie or cookie to a child who doesn't eat ice cream. I know what you are thinking, this is an ice...

I am very sorry for the experience you had. We do not have cookies, but we will gladly sell a customer a plain brownie if they want. Unfortunately you had one of our newer Scoopers who was not familiar with our policy or how to ring it up on the...

This is one of our "must" stops when we are in York for the street rod show. There are so many delicious flavors to chose from- coconut cream being my favorite. The servings are huge! Owners are lovely people and make it a point to come and talk with us and are super friendly. You won't be disappointed.

I came here for ice cream with some friends and I was not disappointed. They have lots of flavors and prices are pretty reasonable. Some of the flavors I never have seen before and the ones I tried were really good! Definitely recommend stopping here for some good ice cream.
